Summary
We’re looking for a chef to run the kitchen at our laid-back restaurant on a holiday park in southwest France.
It’s casual food, done well. A lot of BBQ — cooked outside on barbecues and offset smokers — plus Sunday lunches, charcuterie, and some straightforward French dishes during the busy summer months. Nothing fine-dining, no fuss.
The details:
• 8-month seasonal role
• 20 February – 20 October
• €30,000 per year, pro rata
• Accommodation provided for the full contract
• Based in sunny wine country, southwest France
• European passport required (no visa available)
The restaurant sits on a holiday park, so you’ll need to be happy mucking in and helping out with other bits when things are quieter. Summer gets busy, spring and autumn are more relaxed.
We’re after someone practical, organised, and comfortable working on their own, especially with BBQ and smoker cooking. Offset smoker experience is a big plus, but attitude matters more than flash CVs.
If you like good food, sunshine, and a straightforward, no-nonsense setup, this could be a great season for you.
